F. To adjust lot lines in accord with the provisions of BMC 16.12.030(C);
G. To correct any other type of map error or omission as approved by the city engineer which does not affect any property right. Errors and omissions may include, but are not limited to, lot numbers, acreage, street names and identification of adjacent record maps. Error does not include changes in courses or distances from which an error is not ascertainable from the data shown on the final or parcel map;
H. To make modifications when there are changes that make any or all of the conditions of the map no longer appropriate or necessary and that the modifications do not impose any additional burden on the present fee owner of the property, and if the modifications do not alter any right, title or interest in the real property reflected on the recorded map. The modification shall be set for public hearing by the city council, in the case of a final map, or the planning commission, in the case of a parcel map, in accord with BMC 16.04.060. The city council or planning commission shall confine the hearing to consideration of, and action on, the proposed modification. (Ord. 89-2 N.S. § 22, 1989; Ord. 86-6, 1986).

The form and contents of the amending map shall conform to the requirements of BMC 16.20.040 and 16.20.050 if a final map, and BMC 16.24.100 if a parcel map. The certificate of correction shall set forth in detail the corrections made and show the names of the present fee owners of the property affected by the correction.

16.48.040 Filing with the county recorder.
The amending map or certificate of correction certified by the city engineer shall be filed in the office of the county recorder in which the original map was filed.
